For Sale: Nissan Safari Overland Prepped, Essex UK

Nissan Safari 4.2 Turbo Diesel 4X4 (Patrol GR SLX) - 1994 Y60

Overland/Expedition Prepared Vehicle - Located in Essex, UK, Price £10,000 ono


This vehicle is a one-off - everything pretty much custom made to fit - you will never see another like it.

Sadly, the time has come to let our girl go as we are now looking for an expedition truck to get our teeth stuck into and head on another adventure.

We’ve done a trip down to Morocco and weekend trips with her in the UK and she has never missed a beat. She has been used on a daily basis by my wife for the last 13 years.

Life has changed for us and we feel that she is just wasted on our driveway and deserves to get back on the real road of adventure. She's got everything you need for your next adventure. Our vehicle has been regularly serviced and MOT'd by the same diesel specialist over the years with no expense spared.

All paperwork is available for you to see and you'll be glad that it wasn't you who prepped her once you see how much we've spent! The 4.2 turbo diesel engine is reported to be one of the best and is very sort after.

To get a clean model such as this has become increasingly rare with many (if can be got hold of) being exported out to Australia - which speaks for itself. Fantastic off road and a great day to day vehicle which is a very comfortable drive she is too.

What we’ve had done on our the vehicle:
  • ARB diff lockers front and back
  • Extended fuel tank – 148L
  • ARB Towmaster Tow Bar
  • ARB Bull Bar
  • Warn Winch XP (new motor recently fitted due to not using it!)
  • ARB Side rails
  • ARB 24V Compressor
  • OME Shocks - 2" height raise
  • Upgraded brakes
  • Seagull IV Water Purifier/filtration system
  • Water Tank 67L
  • Bush Wire Kit
  • Fire extinguishers front and back
  • Slider fitted for National Luna Fridge
  • Internal dashboard Compass
  • CB (needs to be calibrated)
  • Extra din switches for 12V dotted about the vehicle
  • Hannibal Tent 1.2 meter
  • Hannibal Side Awning attached to roof rack
  • Safari Snorkel
  • Secret lockable safe
  • Chequered plate and folding shelf on rear, so you can make that cuppa on the go!
  • Autowatch Alarm system and immobiliser
  • Brownchurch bespoke roof rack with part marine-ply giving room for another tyre and addition fuel/water cans. You can bolt on other accessories such shovel and high-lift jack
  • 24V Split charging system with 4 gel Optima batteries - Both starter Batteries have been replaced in last 2 years
  • CD Stereo with fitted IPOD connection
  • Dog guard
  • Bonnet vents
  • Chrome/steel modula wheels with BF Goodrich AT's
  • IPF rear work work lights
  • IPF front spot lamps
  • Rear light guards
All overland preparation has been carried out by Frogs Island 4x4.
We have all the paperwork since owning the vehicle. 13 years
Fully serviced and MOT'd every year with evidence of mileage
Mileage: kilometers - 274000 (aprox.170000 miles) - still a baby!
Professional rear tinted windows.

The interior of our Nissan is in brilliant condition for the year as you can see in the pictures. You will not find one as clean as this, but there are a few things which come with age and therefore need attention:
  • Small rust spot on a sill and a little on back door window area
  • Mic needs replacing for CB (loose wire)
  • Rear work lamps rusted
  • One front IPF spot light has cracked lens
  • Modular chrome wheels have rust on them - that's just chrome!
  • Rubber surround on one rear door at the top needs a little attention
  • Air conditioning will need re-gas
  • Where we had the dash off to replace bulbs, the electrician forgot to check all other things, so digital clock and radio come on/off when they feel like it. Needs sorting
  • Would recommend new set of tyres if planning trip, the spare is unused.
As mentioned before, even if you didn't get any of the above jobs sorted, you could just literally load her up and get going.

If you would like to arrange a viewing, please call Louise on +44 (0)7753 940954 or email me and i'll get back to you .

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
